The report says the alleged abuse took an emotional toll on the boys.
"He made them feel alone, ashamed, guilty and devoid of dignity," prosecutors wrote. "While the defendant achieved great success, and all the benefits that went with it, these boys struggled, and all are still struggling now with what the defendant did to them. Some of them have managed better than others, but all of them bear the scars defendant inflicted upon them... It is profoundly sad that one of their earliest sexual experiences was in the form of abuse by a man they trusted and whom they revered as a mentor and coach."
